Anyone out of the ordinary. In a completely normal environment in a completely normal carnival, that phrase might have had more meaning. But with this carnival in particular, just about everyone save for the marks was out of the ordinary. Still, Ellie knew what he meant by that. "No...everybody who came by was either a customer or a friend. I made sure that the doll was out of reach of any kids that might have sticky fingers too." This was so frustrating. She wanted to know where her doll was and to know who'd taken it! Was that really so bad?
